READING COMPREHENSION WORKSHEET
A Healthy lifestyle
The Thomson family has been trying to eat healthy meals
for a very long time, but found it difficult to keep it up.
Mr and Mrs Thomson work long hours at the hospital, and
feel exhausted when they arrive home. They also have
three young children who needed a lot of care. David is
eight years old, their daughter Ann is six and the baby is
one. It is difficult for the family to cook healthy meals every day. For months, Mrs Thomson
has been ordering food during the week, which is delivered after they arrive from work. This
is a bad routine, and the Thomson’s know this fact very well and have started to worry that
their children will get so used to eating fast food; it will be difficult for them to change this
habit. For the past two weeks, they have been eating healthy homemade meals and feel very
excited about it.
Answer the following questions:
1. Does the Thomson family eat healthy meals?
